10 Then in that day The nations will resort to the root of Jesse, Who will stand as a signal for the peoples; And His resting place will be glorious. 11 Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again recover the second time with His hand The remnant of His people, who will remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the islands of the sea. 12 And He will lift up a standard for the nations And assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth. [Isa 11:10-12]
In vs 10 we see the nations "resort" (follow) the root (Messiah. In vs 12 we see both Israel and Judah are gathered back into the land. Three groups. 1) Nations 2) Israel 3) Judah experiencing the restoration.
5 And now says the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, so that Israel might be gathered to Him (For I am honored in the sight of the Lord, And My God is My strength),6 He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel;I will also make You a light of the nations So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”7 Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel and its Holy One, To the despised One, To the One abhorred by the nation, To the Servant of rulers, “Kings will see and arise, Princes will also bow down, Because of the Lord who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen You.” [Isa 49:5-7]
Notice that Jacob was to be brought back to the land. "Israel" is said to be gathered to the Servant. "To raise up the tribes of Jacob" Israel and her tribes in [Isa 11:10-12] as we see above, for Isaiah is all 12 tribes. THEN we have this salvation reaching the ends of the earth to be a light to the nations. Kings of the nations etc are mentioned.
